1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Dysregulation of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been proved to play pivotal roles in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and fibrosis. We have previously demonstrated the crucial function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ATB in silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis-related EMT progression. However, the underlying molecular mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Here, we verified miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p as two vital downstream targets of lncRNA-ATB. As opposed to lncRNA-ATB, a significant reduction of both miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p was observed in lung epithelial cells treated with TGF-β1 and a murine silicosis model. Overexpression miR-29b-2-5p or miR-34c-3p inhibited EMT process and abrogated the pro-fibrotic effects of lncRNA-ATB in vitro. Further, the ectopic expression of miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p with chemotherapy attenuated silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis in vivo. Mechanistically, TGF-β1-induced lncRNA-ATB accelerated EMT as a sponge of miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p and shared miRNA response elements with MEKK2 and NOTCH2, thus relieving these two molecules from miRNA-mediated translational repression. Interestingly, the co-transfection of miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p showed a synergistic suppression effect on EMT in vitro. Furthermore, the co-expression of these two miRNAs by using adeno-associated virus (AAV) better alleviated silica-induced fibrogenesis than single miRNA. Approaches aiming at lncRNA-ATB and its downstream effectors may represent new effective therapeutic strategies in pulmonary fibrosis.
